They both fought Robinson.
Basilio gave him hell.
Graziano was stretched.
I go with Basilio here in a fairly easy fight .

Took the words right out of my mouth Expug... I couldn`t have said it any better myself. Basilio was by far the superior fighter, and had much more significant wins during his career over superior opposition than Rocky did who was terribly one-dimensional and far too easy to hit as his defence was non-existant. I`d pick Basilio by stoppage over 15, and by decision over 10 in a entertaining scrap.
